Skeeter Beeter Pro Mosquito Net Hammock

I've had this hammock for 8 years, taken to the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness several times. Set up at our permanent campground when I'm not hiking. I also own more expensive hammocks that just don't compare to the comfort of my Skeeter Beater. The more expensive ones are narrower and shorter than my GT making shoulder squish an issue. I couldn't imagine a better hammock especially for the price until I saw the Skeeter Beater XT... Might have to get that one too.

Used this for the first time on a bikepacking trip. It packs super small and light making it easy to bring along. I love the Mosquito net already attached and the zippers worked great too. I did have to readjust the lines used for the net a couple times due to them coming untied. Great sleeping option for a wide range of temps. It got down to just below 50 at night.

I have owned my Skeeter Beeter Pro for going on 10 years. I have used it well over 100 times, and many of those occasions were for multiple days in a row. Throughout the duration of owning the Hammock, I have had NOT ONE bad experience. Over the 10+ years of continuous use, the stuff sack has developed holes in the mesh, but it doesn't deter me from using it in any way. The Hammock is made of extremely durable material, as I still fit my girlfriend and I into it on occasion, for a total of about 300 lbs. The Bug Net has zero holes or rips. All ropes and caribiners still work just as they should! If I were to give one piece of advice, I would switch out the given caribiners for a set without the jagged openings of the ones provided. It never caused an issue, but it would snag on my Trunk Straps when clipping to the Hammock. Overall, I highly recommend the Skeeter Beeter Pro, having a longer length than competitors, I am here to buy myself a new one finally, and my girlfriend one of her own!

I recieved the skeeter beeter as a gift 2 years ago and it is by far the best camping and backpacking shelter I have it's big easy setup and comfortable sleeping no more getting eaten up by the mosquitoes all night . I would recommend this to anyone for back country camping also is a low impact way to camp. Of course my pic is this year and I have it flipped no mosquitoes yet.

I'm 6' tall and was concerned it might not be long enough, but it is. I hung it between two trees near my driveway and am loving it! I had to buy a fly for it, since it "fills up" when it rains.

I already owned one of these hammocks that I used in Colorado on a backcountry solo elk hunt with a bow. I wanted something I could carry in my pack if I got on to some elk. That way I didn’t have to hike all the way out and back in early in the morning. Was able to throw it up quickly and stay close to the herd. Didn’t have a underquilt, but the 500lb rating allowed me to stay fully dressed and somewhat comfortable. But I saw the price browsing around the internet and bought 2 more just to have. Happy with it 100% and it held up without issues..

I've owned two of these and just bought several more for my kids who are all 6 ft tall or taller. In fact, I handed down my pro to my nephew and bought the next level up from Grand Trunk, the one with the tent pole spreaders for the bug net. After 1 trip I replaced it with another pro, which is the better of the two, IMO. I am amazed at how well these hammocks hold up over time. My SB Pro has been on numerous 10-day trips in Ontario and it has never failed me. There are a few things I do to improve the hammock, though, and I have to think if the engineers used their own product they would improve these themselves! The first PITA is threading the elastic cord through the bug nut loops. This can easily be avoided, speeding up setup considerably, by threading a few small plastic clips onto the cord. Once you do that, You can just wrap your cord around the trees and then clip the loops onto the sliding clip that you put on the cord. And the biggest drawback to these hammocks, and the only reason I replaced my Pro after 8 years, is that the stuff sack is mostly mesh. Once you shove your hammock in there for 8 years the mesh starts to fray and rip. I really wish they would put a more sturdy stuff sack on the hammock with compression straps. That would be awesome. But, these complaints are minor considering the cost of this hammock and how amazing it is to sleep in. It's longer and wider than most on the market at a price that blows the competition away. I wish I knew it had a lifetime warranty! I bought one for my son a few months ago and he immediately flipped it upside down landing in the bug net and it ripped a big hole. I threw it in the trash and bought a new one. Oh well, still very happy

I was surprised by the great marketing and ways to lure people to buy their products. But when i was about to buy i saw the 24,95€ i had to pay for delivery. It was the utmost worst company I can imagine by far, while I was so thrilled by the idea of buying here.

Great product yet again from GrandTrunk, get a lot of bugs around here in the spring-fall the included mosquitto net is great.

This is a purchase that I am SO very happy about! It is simple to put together, and it was great for my kayak camping trip. It worked! I took the advice from other hammock sets to spray it with bug repellent as to avoid my 🍑 from getting bit while asleep, and it worked. Just be sure to purchase the separate hook set; bit otherwise, I would recommend this a thousand times over. The only problem I encountered was with shipping so do order this at 5 days in advance.

After seeing so many good reviews, I'm shocked by how little the company seems to care about customer service. I've been trying to return my skeeter pro for 2 weeks, sending multiple emails and filling out the warranty forms multiple times. I have not received and form of contact, and the 30 days before I can return the skeeter pro are almost up. I'm sure the actual product is fine, I wouldn't know as I never opened it. This is the first bad review I've ever left, and it's only because the customer service has left me feeling scammed. Again I'm sure the product is fine, but be warned if you are trying to return it.

My son tried it out over the weekend and it was a great experience! Easy set-up, high quality and very comfortable.

I had this hammock for 7 years, my parents gave me this when I was young before I though much of camping

I outgrew, because it became a bit small and I sold it in near perfect condition as I upsized (I was 6ft)

The quality and strength of the hammock and net is great, just make sure it is long enough for you

Here are some personal stories of its great quality:

When I was young messing around still leaning the limits of hammocks my sibling was seining me wildly, and I was swinging with it too much and flipped out of the hammock while inside the net, fortunately I was only 3ft from the ground, the net was suddenly pulled to its limit with most of my weight on three points but it didn’t tear and I was able to unzip it and get out without harming the net

Myself with 2 friends when younger (around 100lbs) would wildly swing and bounce around (hammock flipped so the bug net was out of the way), never tore or had issue with weight

My brother with his own same type of hammock slept walked and tried getting out of the hammock as if there was no bug net, with all the sleeping gear flipped onto the net as he stood up thru the net the net tore where he was but not where his water bottle, blankets, and flash light hung suspended in the net. He used the hammock even after the torn net with no further issues

I have used this hammock since 2014. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail 1.5 times with it, and I've taken it on countless other adventures. It has never broken, or had any issues whatsoever. 100% highly reccomend.

Bought this as a gift for husband along with the straps as other reviewers recommended. Husband loves to be outside but bugs love him. He said it works great and even keeps the knats out due to the fine mesh. He said it was easy to set up.

From my experience with this hammock, it is 100% mosquito proof. It is not, however, coyote proof....

I have traveled with this hammock for 10+ years. It is truly the best. Finally it has started to show some wear and need replaced. I am trying to order another like this because I am not a fan of the one with poles. I want the one with only chords, because why add more weight. Hopefully it is available soon.

This hammock is great! Easy to set up, pack up and has all that's needed in one package!

Grand Trunk was very prompt and took care of my warranty issue to a higher expectation that I thought

I love this hammock. I have traveled with it for years and can attest that it is a excellent hammock for camping, hiking or just laying around.

Overall I like the hammock and believe it’s a great value, but as a backpacker there are a few feature that I’d like to see changed. I’d like a single ridge line to hold up the bug screening so it fits nicely under a tarp, and a bug net that provides better ventilation. The bug net is so fine that it impedes airflow making it even hotter on a hot humid night. Also, I’d like a slightly shorter overall length of 10’ To save a little weight and to fit under a standard 10’ tarp.

Like a fancy tent made just for your floating delight.no bugs,no fuss.will last a long,long time.

Comfy light and portable came with enough rope and d links are heavy duty super breathable

Great hammock, reasonably priced. I own 3 , two of which are used by my young granddaughters.

Hi I ordered my hammock on may 7th and I still haven’t received it yet and I was wondering if it’s coming???

It's great. Now please stop calling texting and emailing me asking how it is.

Fast shipping, great value, great warranty, customer service, etc.
